Big Bend Campground (John Day River) in Oregon. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 790 public campsites we map in Oregon.
Enjoy the scenery and passage of time along the banks of the North Fork of the John Day River. Here, one can contemplate the river away from sights and sounds of civilization except for the occasional passing of vehicles along sleepy State Highway 402. Chukars may be seen and heard along the cliff opposite the campground. Know Before You Go Open year-round. Campground has four primitive campsites with picnic tables, fire rings and limited shade.
Motocamp routes the vehicle you are actually in and picks up the road surface on the way. Download the state and it keeps working with no signal.
